Do they know what they're doing?

[Salty]

I'll admit that some fault lies on the buyer for not qt'ing their frag, or cleaning it off and reattaching to another clean base.

This is what it really comes down to, we get to excited to place the piece and forget the proper proceedures. Most of the time it works out fine until one day, we get burned.

I guess that's what dismays me about the hobby now. People are more interested in making $$$ than being honest hobbyists with each other. I've battled this stuff on and off in my wife's tank for over a year and wouldn't wish it on anyone. But, I guess Kent is enjoying the extra sales in Tech-M. I know I've gone through gallons of the stuff in the last year.

Good point on the ethics, but again, it highlights OUR irresponsibility as reefers, not all, but enough to drive the trade of dirty frags. As long as people consume the product, the situation won't improve and likely will get worse as more people enter the business.

Sadly, I can count myself as a member of the guilty group, I entered the hobby and have played fast and loose with my tank. The only reason it is doing so well is thanks to the help of a few people that have given me a helping hand, you know who you are. Ohh, and Visa as well
